For landmines activated by chemical means, which fuzing type is listed?

• A. Tilt rod
• B. Influence
• C. Cmd Det
• D. Pressure

Answer: (D)

When considering how fuzes are activated, you categorize by the mechanism that actually triggers the detonation. Mechanical fuzes are activated by physical interactions, such as pressure or mechanical movement. Among the listed options, the one that fits landmines activated by chemical means is a pressure fuze. That’s because chemical action inside or on the mine typically translates into a force or pressure on a sensing element, which then initiates the detonator.

Tilt rod would rely on angular movement, influence fuzes sense a nearby target electronically rather than through direct contact, and command det requires a remote signal. For mines activated by chemical means, the triggering path is effectively via a pressure-sensitive mechanism, making pressure the appropriate choice.
